Nova Scotia is one of the 13 Canadian provinces. Bordered by the state of Maine, the bay of Fundy, the Atlantic Ocean and Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia is a beautiful section named after "New Scotland." When we were there we saw lots of coast line, light houses, Christmas tree farms, resorts and lobster traps. We saw some graffiti but it was polite graffiti such as "Wash your hands." As we left Nova Scotia and drove into the province of New Brunswick, we started seeing higher mountains and great river valleys. We spent the night in Grand Falls, New Brunswick. The surprising thing for me is that other than two turkey vultures and hearing two barred owls, I saw no birds of prey - no hawks, no kestrels, and no eagles.
